The company says it is also investing in offline retail stores as a touch-point in Kenya. This will enable customers to have first-hand experience with Vivo smartphones. 

Vivo V17

The V17 is part of an array of different versions of the Vivo brand with features such as the 91.65% screen-to-body ratio, artificial intelligence (A1-powered) cameras that pop up. These, plus the striking blend of technology and price for today’s savvy millennials, are key to delivering results for the company.

Vivo V17 Pro Specs

Such specs put this device squarely in competition with most of the devices we have seen from the likes of Huawei, Samsung, and Oppo. The price though? Pre-orders are live and the device can be had for Ksh 40,999/-. Currently, Vivo is present in more than 30 markets. These include Kenya, Nigeria, Egypt, Morocco, and the Middle East countries. With its launch in the country, Vivo not only aims to be a key player in the technology sector but also a brand that has the people’s interest at heart. To that effect, Vivo Kenya has opened a new customer service center in the Nairobi CBD. There are also plans to launch new centers in Mombasa and Eldoret in the next six months. This is to enable a continuous supply of quality products and services. Vivo says it has a strategy to accelerate its innovations across smart devices and applications for the Internet of things era. Based on 5G-enabled smartphones, Vivo is committed to its strategy to expand its 5G device offering. These will include AR glasses, smartwatches, smart headphones and more.  A new player in this competitive market means that customers get a wider variety of options. We hope Vivo pushes more outstanding (and affordable) devices to the Kenyan market in the future.
